“Bist du bei mir” provides an excellent opportunity for a group to showcase itself in any performance. Also, this aria can be a great addition to your repertoire of relaxing background music. Either way, our arrangement is very approachable for most groups looking to feature their 1st trumpet and trombone players. We have put the score on 2 pages so the group can rehearse (and perform) reading the score. We have found this very helpful to work on balance, tuning, style, and blend when everyone can see everyone else’s part. In the key of Bb, this piece stays in the normal playing range for all instruments.

How do I purchase music?

We are processing all of our ecommerce through our Square store. This means you'll be directed to another window to complete your purchase through their secure online website.

Can I purchase multiple titles at the same time?

Yes! After you add a piece to your cart on Square you can add more titles from there or return here and continue shopping. When you add additional items to your cart, Square will open a new window with your updated cart and you can close the first window. We know it is a little clunky, and we appreciate your patience!

How do you determine your pricing?

When you purchase music from us, you can trust that you're getting brass music that was created by real-life brass players, performed and tested in real-life by us. We've error checked all parts and played everything through in rehearsal before it is published (although of course we're human and we might have missed something - if so let us know). We've all had experiences with music that is messy, hard to read and has lots of mistakes - we hate that too, which is why we take the time to make our parts as clean as possible.

Copper Street Editions is unique in that we aren't a publishing company or a for profit business. Your purchase from CSE supports the mission and musicians of The Copper Street Brass. Many of our titles can't be found elsewhere, and your purchase is helping us grow the repertoire for brass throughout the world.

What about Tax?

Tax & processing is included in the price.

What happens after I make a purchase?

After you complete your purchase through Square, you will get an email with your payment confirmation from Square. We also get an email, and within a day or two (or sooner if we are able!) we will deliver your music as a .pdf binder with the score and all parts via email through Adobe Send & Track. Make sure you check your junk mailbox if you don't hear from us, the email with the link to you music comes from "noreply@acrobat.com".

The email from Adobe will include a link to view and download your file. The .pdf packet which includes all parts and the score for your song, as well as important program notes and song timing. Once you download your file the link will expire, so make sure to save it where you can easily find it. You'll then be able to print parts. Your purchase grants you the right to perform the piece anywhere you want, we just ask that you don't distribute our music to others. That's just not nice.

I'm looking for a tune of yours that I don't see here...

There are lots of tunes that we would love to publish but we can't because the rights holder will not grant us the rights or obtaining those rights is prohibitively expensive. Unfortunatly this includes most of our modern tunes (anything not in the public domain). We will continue to work with rights holders to negociate publishing rights, but in the meantime we hope you enjoy what we currently offer!
